A tantalus with games compendium, England, early 20th century
This exquisite early 20th-century English tantalus combines the luxury of fine spirits storage with the charm of a built-in games compendium. Crafted from richly grained mahogany and adorned with delicate inlaid veneer motifs, the cabinet houses a set of cut-glass decanters, each nestled securely behind a brass-fitted lock, and offers a drawer and compartments for classic parlour games. The hardware and the clever locking mechanism reflects the quality of Edwardian craftsmanship, while the compact, freestanding design makes it a sophisticated focal point in any drawing room or study. Whether entertaining guests with a fine brandy or enjoying a quiet game by the fire, this tantalus is both a functional treasure and a conversation-starting showpiece.
